6 Uvodna riječ ministra kulture Republike Hrvatske Introduction by the Minister of Culture of the Republic of Croatia Poštovane dame i gospodo, dragi prijatelji i ljubitelji sedme umjetnosti, cijenjeni sudionici najstarijeg hrvatskog nacionalnog filmskog festivala, srdačno vas pozdravljam i želim mnogo uspjeha u vašem predanom radu kojim na najbolji mogući način doprinosite afirmaciji hrvatskog filma i hrvatske kulture. Nakon dugih 57 godina postojanja najznačajnijeg filmskog festivala u ovom dijelu Europe, prolazeći često burne faze razvoja, ove godine okrećemo novu stranicu koja će u umjetničkom i tehnološkom napretku pridonijeti daljnjoj afirmaciji hrvatske filmske umjetnosti. Festival igranog filma u Puli punom brzinom, bez prijelazne godine, ulazi u digitalno doba. Dok su prošle godine svi filmovi u Areni bili na 35mm vrpci, ove će godine svih deset biti prikazano digitalno. Festivalsko vijeće još je godine, pravovremeno uvažavajući nove tehnologije, dalo mogućnost filmovima u HD formatu da budu prikazani u konkurenciji Festivala. Dosad su tu mogućnost iskoristila tri filma, koje je publika mogla vidjeti u obnovljenom festivalskom kinu, no sada je najmodernija tehnologija ušla i među zidine antičke Arene. Tim će povodom ovogodišnji Festival biti i domaćin skupa na kojem ćemo pokrenuti digitalizaciju hrvatskih art i nezavisnih kino dvorana, koje bez javne podrške u nabavi digitalnih projektora i servera ne bi više mogle opstati u konkurenciji sve brojnijih digitaliziranih multipleksa. Digitalna tehnologija omogućit će da se u Areni u glavnoj sekciji Nacionalnog programa ove godine nađe čak deset filmova: pet ih je nastalo po scenarijima odobrenim na javnim pozivima Ministarstva kulture i HAC-a, a pet kao nezavisni filmovi koji su naknadno dobili HAC-ovu potporu temeljem novih, fleksibilnijih odredbi Pravilnika o postupku, kriterijima i rokovima za provedbu Nacionalnog programa promicanja audiovizualnog stvaralaštva. Ne treba zaboraviti ni na rekordnih devet filmova u sekciji manjinskih koprodukcija u kojima su sudjelovali hrvatski umjetnici i producenti, a koji prema Europskoj konvenciji o filmskoj koprodukciji pripadaju nacionalnim kinematografijama u svim zemljama koproducentima. Festival od prošle godine omogućuje selektiranim manjinskim koprodukcijama da se natječu i za Zlatne Arene u posebnoj sekciji Nacionalnog programa, kao i da budu ocijenjene i nagrađene od strane hrvatske i europske kritike. Ovogodišnjih devet manjinskih koprodukcija potvrdilo je Hrvatsku kao pouzdanog partnera u različitim fazama filmske produkcije, od lokacija za snimanje do postprodukcije. Uvjeren sam da će razne poticajne mjere koje pripremamo još više povećati interes za snimanje u Hrvatskoj, ali i korištenje iskusnih hrvatskih filmskih djelatnika i talentiranih glumaca i glumica, koji stječu sve veća priznanja u Europi. Svim redateljima, scenaristima, glumcima i glumicama, producentima, filmskim ekipama i njihovim filmovima želim velik uspjeh kod publike u Areni i u kinodistribuciji te da budu zapaženi na što većem broju međunarodnih festivala. S poštovanjem, Ministar kulture mr. Jasen Mesić Dear ladies and gentleman, dear friends and cinephiles, dear participants of the oldest Croatian national film festival, I would like to wish you a warm welcome and a lot of success in your dedicated work contributing to making Croatian film and Croatian culture recognized in the best possible manner. After long 57 years of the most important film festival in this part of Europe, and after going through very often stormy phases of development, this year we are turning a new page that will help make a name for Croatian film in terms of both artistic and technological development. Without having a transitional period, the Pula Film Festival is entering the digital age in full speed. While last year all the films that screened in the Arena were shot on 35mm films, all of the ten this year s pictures will be screened digitally. Taking new technologies into consideration in a timely fashion, the Festival Council gave an opportunity to HD films to be screened in competition already in Up until now, three films have used this possibility and they were showcased at the renovated festival cinema. However, modern technology has entered the Arena s ancient walls as well. On this occasion, this year s Festival will also host a meeting aimed at digitalizing Croatian art house and independent cinemas, which, without public support in procuring digital projectors and servers, could no longer withstand the competition of an ever bigger number of digitalized multiplex theatres. Digital technology will allow for as many as ten films to be screened in the Principal Section of the National Programme, five being based on the scripts approved at Ministry of Culture and Croatian Audio isual Centre (HAC) calls for entries and five independent films which were supported by HAC subsequently, following the adoption of more flexible new provisions of the Ordinance on the procedure, criteria and deadlines for the implementation of the National Programme for Promotion of Audio isual Art. We should not forget about a record of nine films in the Minority Coproductions Section in which Croatian artists and producers took part and which, according to the European Convention of Cinematographic Co-production, belong to national cinemas of all co-producing countries. Since last year, the Festival has allowed for the selected minority coproductions to compete for Golden Arenas in a separate section of the National Programme as well as to be evaluated and awarded on the part of Croatian and European critics. This year s nine minority coproductions confirm that Croatia is a reliable partner in different phases of film production, from shooting locations to postproduction. I am convinced that different incentives that we are preparing will increase the interest in shooting in Croatia and in using experienced Croatian film makers and talented actors and actresses who have been achieving ever greater recognition in Europe. I wish all the directors, screenwriters, actors and actresses, producers, film crews and their films great success in the Arena and at the box office as well as at as many as possible international festivals. Yours respectfully, Minister of Culture mr. Jasen Mesić 58 th Pula Film Festival 7

7 Uvodna riječ župana Istarske županije Introduction by the County Prefect of the County of Istria Pula je grad koji baštini bogatu povijest i baštinu. Arena, Slavoluk Sergijevaca, Augustov hram, Kaštel, Arsenal Scoglio Olivi Uljanik, fortifikacije, Rojc... simboli su grada koji stvaraju identitet stanovnika i njihov način svakodnevnog življenja. Svako doba donosi nove simbole koji mijenjaju uvriježene običaje i nadograđuju učinjeno, svako vrijeme ima svoj signum temporis koji nas nadahnjuje da razmišljamo i mijenjamo se. Znak vremena u Puli sigurno je i Festival igranog filma u Puli koji je od početka ostao zabilježen u kolektivnom pamćenju Puležana i njihovih gostiju kao mjesto dodira i promišljanja različitih umjetničkih ideja, različitih osobnih stavova i različitih filmskih izričaja. Ono što razna promišljanja i estetike povezuje i vrednuje značajnije je i trajnije od različitosti, a to su prvenstveno neponovljiva Arena i publika koja je svake godine ponovo pohodi te stvara ritual sudjelovanja u projekciji filma. Pula i njeni građani prepoznali su i prihvatili osobitu ljepotu sedme umjetnosti koja obogaćuje osobe koje kritički razmišljaju i izoštravaju svoje estetske kriterije. Zato svakog ljeta pohodimo Arenu kako bismo se uvjerili da će umjetničko nadahnuće glumaca, redatelja, scenarista, kamermana ponovo donijeti užitak nama koji film gledamo, volimo ga i u tome uživamo. Uvjeren sam kako Pula svake godine sve više postaje filmski grad i kako nas projekcije i događanja u Areni, na Kaštelu, u kinu alli kao i svaki kvalitetan film obogaćuju znanjem i čine nas boljim. Uvjeren sam kako je pred nama još jedan užitak gledanja filma nakon kojeg ćemo zadovoljni krenuti prema narednom koje će ponovo donijeti nešto novo, a zatim i opet Upravo to strasno očekivanje da se opet dogodi film svjedoči kako film gradi Pulu i njene stanovnike, gradi ljubav prema gradu i ljepoti koja se u njemu rađa. Ako tu ljepotu želite prepoznati i uživati u njoj, pozivam vas na još jedno druženje s filmom, Arenom i Pulom. Župan Istarske županije Ivan Jakovčić Pula is a city rich in history and heritage. The Arena, the Triumphal Arch of the Sergii, the Temple of Augustus, the Kastel, the Arsenal Scoglio Olivi Uljanik, fortifications, Cultural Centre Rojc, etc. are the symbols of the city that define its citizens identity and their way of life. Every period brings new symbols which change conventional customs and upgrade the existing conditions, every period has its signum temporis which inspires us to think and change ourselves. The Pula Film Festival has also marked Pula and from the very beginning it has remained in the collective memory of its citizens and visitors as a meeting place of different artistic ideas, different personal attitudes and a whole range of cinematic expressions. What links and evaluates the different deliberations and aesthetics is more meaningful and durable than variety. In the first place, there is the Arena and its visitors who come there year in, year out and ritually take part in the presentation of films. Pula and its citizens have recognized and accepted the particular beauty of the Seventh Art that enriches people who think critically and refine their aesthetic criteria. We visit the Arena every year so as to check whether the artistic inspiration of actors, directors, screenwriters, cinematographers and many others will bring the same joy to us who watch, love and enjoy film. I am convinced that Pula is becoming ever more the city of film and that the screenings and events in the Arena, at Kastel, at the alli Cinema and other venues, as well as individual films, are enriching us and making us better persons. I am convinced that we are facing another joyful experience after which we will contentedly move towards the next one that will bring something new once again, and than again This passionate anticipation of film is the proof that film is building Pula and its citizens, its growing love for the city and its beauty. If you want to recognize and enjoy in this beauty, I invite you for another encounter with film, the Arena and Pula.

9 Uvodna riječ ravnateljice Festivala Introduction by the Festival Director Film pod zvijezdama ima li boljeg ljetnog doživljaja? Za sve one koji već 58 godina sudjeluju u životu Festivala igranog filma u Puli ispred ili iza platna, kao autori, gledatelji ili organizatori jednostavno nema. ođeni time, kreirali smo na ovoj 58. Puli dobre uvjete za stjecanje doživljaja koji se pamte. Neosporivo jest da je iskustvo gledanja vrsnih, kako nacionalnih tako i stranih, filmova pod otvorenim zvjezdanim nebom obgrljeni Arenom nezaboravno, da je Arena ta koja svake godine (svojom unikatnošću i tradicijom koju nose njene začudne zidine) daje važan obol cijelome Festivalu! No, Festival se (i film) proširio i izvan nje na tajanstveni Kaštel, u novoobnovljeno Kino alli zavladao ulicama i trgovima Pule. Na ovogodišnjem Festivalu bit će prikazano 177 filmova! Osim gledanja filmova, svojim popratnim filmskim programima Festival nudi mogućnost učenja i sudjelovanja u stvaranju filma putem radionica i amaterskih filmskih natječaja. alja posjetiti i umjetničke izložbe. Ne zaboravite glazbene programe ima ih za svakoga. Festival živi i u virtualnom svijetu novih medija. Naše mrežne stranice, Facebook društvena mreža i YouTube, omogućuju nam da tijekom cijele godine budemo u dodiru s našom publikom. I baš kad smo se, nakon velikih investicija, poželjeli napokon malo odmoriti novi organizacijski izazov prvi put upravo ove godine svih deset filmova u glavnoj sekciji Nacionalnog programa snimljeno je na digitalnom mediju i bit će, uz pomoć sponzora, u Areni i Kinu alli prikazani na najsuvremenijem i tehnički najnaprednijem projekcijskom sustavu. Događaj je to koji će se zasigurno pamtiti u povijesti hrvatskoga filma. Što to potiče i daje snagu nevelikom i mladom organizacijskom timu, osnaženom tijekom Festivala brojnim suradnicima, a od ove godine i volonterima (sve sami svestrani i znatiželjni mladi ljudi puni ljubavi prema Puli i filmu), da i dalje pomiče granice? Dobra suradnja s producentima, redateljima, glumcima, ostalim autorima i distributerima te prepoznavanje Festivala od strane: pokrovitelja, donatora, partnera, sponzora i brojnih ustanova i poduzeća koje Festival podupiru. I, dakako, uvijek i nanovo pulska publika svih dobnih skupina koja voli film, posebice nacionalni. Stoga, jedno veliko iskreno hvala svima koji dobrom voljom i energijom ustraju u stvaranju ovakve Pule. Festival nudi i nešto što smo naslijedili: ljepotu morske obale i modrinu mora, gastronomske delicije, otvoreno srce i osmijeh! Naš je prijedlog uzmite godišnji odmor i uživajte na 58. festivalu igranog filma u Puli. Želimo am dobrodošlicu, od srca! ravnateljica Festivala Zdenka išković -ukić Film under the stars could there possibly be a better summer experience? Those who have been part of the life of the Pula Film Festival for the past 58 years either in front of or behind the screen, as authors, spectators or organizers think there couldn t. Led by this thought, at this year s 58 th Pula we have created good conditions for acquiring memorable experiences. There is no doubt that watching exquisite national and international films under the starry sky and embraced by the Arena is an unforgettable experience and that it is the Arena (with its uniqueness and tradition) that has been making such an important contribution to the whole Festival year after year! However, the Festival (and film) has expanded beyond the Arena to the mysterious Kastel, to the renovated alli Cinema it has conquered Pula s streets and squares. This year s Festival will screen 177 films! Apart from watching the films, the Festival offers its guests a possibility to learn and participated in film creation through its workshops and amateur film calls for entries, which are part of the Festival s sidebar programmes. Art exhibitions are worth visiting too. And don t forget about music programmes they will suit different tastes. The Festival lives in the virtual world of new media. Our web pages, Facebook and YouTube allow us to stay in touch with our audience all year long. Just when we wanted to take some time off, after making huge investments, there came a new organizational challenge. This year for the first time all ten films in the Principal Section of the National Programme have been shot digitally and, with the help of the sponsors, they will be screened in the Arena and at the alli Cinema using the most modern and most technically advanced projection system. This is certainly a memorable event for the history of Croatian film. What is it that provides strength and stimulus to a small and young organizational team, strengthened with a number of collaborators, and from this year also volunteers (very versatile and curious young people full of love for Pula and film), during Festival s weeks, to move the boundaries further? Good cooperation with producers, directors, actors, other authors and distributors, and understanding for the Festival on the part of sponsors, donators, partners and a number of institutions and enterprises that support the Festival. And, of course, time and again, the Pula audience of all age groups that loves film, national production in particular. Therefore, I would like to express my gratitude to all the people who keep creating such Pula by investing their good will and energy. The Festival offers something that we inherited as well: the beauty of our coastline and the blue colour of our sea, tasty meals, open heart and a smile! We suggest that you take a vacation and enjoy the 58 th Pula Film Festival. I wish you a warm welcome! Festival Director Zdenka išković -ukić festival igranog filma u Puli

10 Uvodna riječ umjetničkog ravnatelja Introduction by the Artistic Director 58. festival igranog filma u Puli programski je najveći u protekla dva desetljeća hrvatske državnosti, i to u svim segmentima. Kontinuirani programski razvoj doživio je ove godine vrhunac s deset filmskih i deset popratnih programa, s ukupno 177 filmova koji će biti prikazivani tijekom 17 dana projekcija. Nakon skromnijih devedesetih, kada se ipak i u teškim godinama uspio sačuvati festivalski plamen, njegovo drugo desetljeće unutar neovisne države obilježila je internacionalizacija, a posljednjih pet godina organizacijska i financijska konsolidacija, tehnička i infrastrukturna obnova, programska ekspanzija i kontinuirani rast broja gledatelja, kojih je prošle godine bilo više od 77 tisuća. Arena će prvi put u povijesti ugostiti deset hrvatskih filmova, a tu je i rekordnih devet manjinskih koprodukcija. Najveća su novina ovogodišnjeg Festivala digitalne projekcije u Areni, što nije samo veliki organizacijsko-tehnički pomak, nego i programski, jer čini Arenu pristupačnijom za nezavisni film. Posebno nam zadovoljstvo čini činjenica da je HAC podupro pet nezavisnih filmova pozvanih u konkurenciju Festivala. Ove su godine šestero redatelja debitanti, a program je žanrovski vrlo raznovrstan: u tri ovogodišnja hrvatska filma glavni su junaci djeca, imamo dvije drame ljubavno-obiteljske tematike, ali i tri kriminalistička trilera, ratnu dramu i erotsku komediju. Prikazujemo trinaest stranih filmova iz kinematografija regije koje je Festival nekad okupljao, od čega ih je sedam u programu manjinskih koprodukcija, pet u Međunarodnom, a jedan u Pulici. Donosimo njihove nacionalne laureate, ali i filmove najpopularnije među gledateljima. U programu kratkog filma prikazujemo dvadeset filmova, od kojih su deset režirale mlade redateljice, što govori o novom trendu mladog hrvatskog filma, koji polako prelazi i na dugometražni film, a treba naglasiti da je većina ostvarenja erotske tematike. U novom programu Puladok prikazivat ćemo dokumentarce koji su vezani za povijest Festivala igranog filma u Puli i hrvatskog filma, a ove godine bit će zanimljivo vidjeti dva filmska pristupa odnosu politike i filma u povijesti naše kinematografije. Program filmske glazbe predstavlja filmske songove dive Gabi Novak, a kroz otvaranje obilježava stogodišnjicu velikog Bernarda Herrmanna i podsjeća na snagu dugo vremena zaboravljene partiture Gottfrieda Huppertza za film Metropolis Fritza Langa. Međunarodni program donosi 22 ostvarenja: 5 iz zemlje prijatelja Festivala Italije, još 11 europskih u programu Europolis te 6 u Meridijanima, u kojima idemo od Kanade i Sjedinjenih Država preko Irana do Kine i Južne Koreje. Nikad ne uzimamo filmove samo zbog osvojenih nagrada, no ove su se godine procjene preklopile pa imamo i dobitnika Zlatnog medvjeda i dva osvajača Zlatnog globusa za najbolji film. Konačno, ovogodišnja retrospektiva posvećena je Jamesu Ivoryju, jednom od najvećih redateljskih perfekcionista današnjice, umjetniku iznimno rafiniranog ukusa i postojane estetike, čija filmska karijera traje gotovo koliko i Pulski festival i koji je osobito u području književnih adaptacija postavio teško dostižne standarde. Uživajte u filmovima! Zlatko idačković Umjetnički ravnatelj The 58 th Pula Film Festival is the largest edition of the festival in the past two decades since Croatian independence. The continuous development of the programme has reached its peak this year with ten film and ten sidebar sections, a total of 177 films that will be screened over 17 days. After the modest nineties, when the festival flame was maintained despite difficult times, its second decade in an independent country was marked by institutionalization, the past five years being characterized by organizational and financial consolidation, technology and infrastructure renovation, programme expansion and a continuous growth of the number of spectators, which last year exceeded 77,000. For the first time in history, the Arena will host ten Croatian films and a record of nine minority co-productions. The biggest novelty this year will be digital screenings in the Arena, which does not only imply a step forward in terms of organization and technology but also in terms of the programme, because this will make the Arena more accessible to independent productions. We are particularly pleased with the fact that the Croatian Audio isual Centre (HAC) has supported five independent productions invited to join the Festival s competition. This year we have six debutant directors and the programme varies in terms of genre. Two Croatian films star children, there are two dramas tackling love and family themes, three crime thrillers, a war drama and an erotic comedy. We will screen as many as thirteen foreign films from the region that the festival used to cover, seven in the Minority Co-productions Section, five in the International Programme and one as part of Pulica. We will screen their national laureates and the films that were most popular with audiences. The Short Film Programme will screen twenty films, out of which ten are by young female directors, which is indicative of a new tendency in the recent Croatian film industry where more and more women are slowly moving towards making feature-length films. It should also be pointed out that most of the films have erotic themes. The new programme Puladok will screen documentaries linked to the history of the Pula Film Festival and Croatian film. It will be particularly interesting to see two different cinematic approaches to the relation between politics and film in the history of the our film industry. The Film Music Programme will present film songs by Gabi Novak and the opening ceremony will mark the hundredth anniversary of the great Bernard Herrmann and remind us of the strength of the long-forgotten Gottfried Huppertz s score for Fritz Lang s Metropolis. The International Programme will showcase 22 new works: five from Italy, a friend of the Festival, 11 European films as part of the Europolis and six as part of the Meridians, which will take us to Canada, the USA, Iran, China and South Korea. We never select films on the basis of awards won, but this year it happens that we have the Golden Bear winner and two Golden Globe Best Film winners. Finally, this year s retrospective is dedicated to James Ivory, one of the greatest directors of today, a perfectionist artist of exceptionally refined taste and lasting aesthetics, the length of whose career is almost matched by that of the Pula Film Festival, who set the standards (especially in the field of literary adaptations) which are difficult to achieve. Enjoy the films! Zlatko idačković Artistic Director 58 th Pula Film Festival 11
